For the people who question the validity of this I get on average two phone calls a month from clients who want to email me a picture of their dogs eye, skin, wound, etc to see if they need to come into the ER or if it can wait until morning. I also get people who want me to listen to their dogs coughing or breathing over the phone.

Now...if that had been certain other parts of the anatomy doing weird tricks, I would not be letting Annie make the "you must come in to the office" call for me....but then again, probably would not have made it onto the you-net either.
